When you reach the top of the wait list and we offer a membership, within 7 days of the offer you're required to pay the Membership Share price, transfer fee and--if you're purchasing your membership during the season the pool is open--a pro-rated portion of the annual dues. See the following explanation of these fees.

We currently charge $800 (tax included) for a Membership Share. This fee and all others are subject to review yearly and may change while you are on the wait list. This is a one-time fee for new members.

The membership transfer fee of $25 also is a one-time fee for new members. Your $10 wait list fee is credited towards this amount when you buy a membership share.

Annual dues are currently $475 (includes tax). If you purchase your membership during the open pool season, you'll pay your annual dues at the time of your membership purchase, but based on a graduated fee schedule that considers the amount of time left in the season. If you purchase a membership during the part of the year the pool is closed, we don't require that you pay annual dues until the normal April 15th deadline for all members. The full $475 (tax included) will be due at that time.

You have 7 days to complete all elements of the membership purchase (including payment of all membership fees required) when we offer you a membership. If the purchase is not completed in those 7 days, the membership will be offered to the next applicant on the wait list .

If you refuse an offer to purchase a membership but wish to remain on the wait list, you may again pay the $10 non-refundable wait list fee to have your name placed at the end of the wait list as the newest name.

Also of note:

We require that each membership perform four hours of maintenance work yearly at the club or pay a $75 (tax included) maintenance fee. See the Maintenance requirement page.

Under no circumstances can GSSC memberships be rented to nonmembers.

Team participation or lessons require a fee payment.

Some years we require an assessment on all memberships (i.e. In 2011 we had an assessment of $80 (plus tax) due from all members).

The pool opens in mid-May and closes in mid-September. Pool hours vary day-to-day and change during the season. We post a schedule in the pool office and on this Web site, as well as mail it to all members in advance of the season's opening.

Non-members may sign up for swim lessons during the season based on availability after members sign up. Lesson registration and information is available in the pool office.
